Summary
What does belonging mean within a fractured world? How do we liberate ourselves from systems that attempt to turn us into mere cogs in a machine? What can sitting with the paradoxes of being human teach us?
In this episode, Green Dreamer’s Kaméa Chayne speaks with Sophia Kai of Journey of the Soul, whose work lives at the crossroads of world, folk, and medicine music — blending languages, poetry and healing into musical journeys that transcend borders and open the heart of humanity.
Join us as we unravel the messiness of being human in these troubled times, and contemplate where journeying toward a collective remembrance may lead us.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, hey, it's your host, Kamea. I've been feeling kind of perpetually overwhelmed by the state of the world, |
| 0:07.4 | and I'm really realizing again how important it is to have a daily re-centering practice for myself. |
| 0:14.6 | So I've been really working on that, and I'm not sure how this may be finding you, |
| 0:19.3 | but I want to use this maybe as a gentle reminder |
| 0:22.2 | for you as well to also nurture a ritual or practice whatever that may look like that feels |
| 0:29.0 | the most grounding to you. And also, if you happen to be interested in working on this with me |
| 0:35.6 | and with us, I want to invite you to check out Alchemize, |
| 0:39.1 | Green Dreamers 12-week audio-based program of daily imagination and creative practices, inspired |
| 0:46.6 | by a lot of our show's inquiries, and led by a variety of our past guests, collaborators, and myself. |
| 0:54.0 | My inspiration to conceive this offering really came from this question, |
| 0:58.2 | what could it be like to partake in practices of mindfulness that aren't just about this |
| 1:03.1 | re-centering of us as individuals, but like practices of earthfulness. |
| 1:08.0 | So like moving from mindfulness to earthfulness that reroute our imagination |
| 1:13.6 | and embodiment in our deeper and broader webs of relations. This is the question that undergirds |
| 1:20.7 | the program as an invitation to move beyond engaging a lot of the topics that we talk about |
| 1:26.1 | on the show intellectually, but into |
| 1:28.3 | more embodied, sensorial, participatory, and creative ways. So yeah, Alchemize is now open for |
| 1:36.2 | enrollment again, and if this speaks to you, I welcome you to learn more at greendreamer.com slash alchemize. |
| 1:46.3 | She asked me, how do you still try to stay kind, still try to keep walking forward when |
| 1:55.1 | life has been so hard on you? I remember just thinking in that moment, because what's the point |
| 2:00.4 | otherwise? |
| 2:06.8 | If not to find deeper meaning in every single challenge, every single time we're split from ourselves, to come back and merge with ourselves even deeper. |
